I started playing soccer at the age of 6 all the way up to my first year of college. Playing for the Naperville Park District, Bolingbrook Raiders, Chicago Fire Juniors, and Galaxy. During high school I played all four years as I worked up the ladder all the way to varsity. I stopped playing competitive soccer in college to focus on my Exercise Science and Sports Medicine degree. Even though I don’t play competitive anymore, I still play rec leagues with some school friends. 

I’ve been working with kids or coaching since I was 15. That involves coaching rec soccer, high school soccer, youth program with Elite, and the ESCO program as well. In the past I’ve also refereed rec and club soccer games. I absolutely love the game!

I enjoy coaching because I am able to help each kid improve both on and off the field. Helping them develop new skills and confidence on the field. Giving them the ability to gain strength physically and mentally. Also, building a great environment, leadership and hard work ethic. 

Outside of Elite

I am a 6 time competitor on the TV show American Ninja Warrior. Also, have experience coaching club and high school gymnastics, club and high school wrestling, ninja warrior coach, and was a nanny for 5 years. In my free time I enjoy working out, rock climbing, spending time with family and friends, ninja training, wood working, and watching tv/movies.
